New Rice Variety Could Slash Methane Emissions by 70%—Here’s How! - Naseba
A new rice hybrid could reduce methane emissions from rice cultivation by 70%, addressing climate change. This discovery highlights the significance of rice roots and their chemical emissions, specifically fumarate and ethanol.Eliza Kent (Naseba)
"Leaving capitalist consumerism and market economics as the dominant stewards of the only known civilization in the universe will most likely seem, in retrospect, to have been a terrible idea."

Emma Pinchbeck of the independent Climate Change Committee thinks so, and argues (in my view correctly) that this could also be an engine or re-balancing towards a less unequal economy & society (I've called this before: Green Keynsianism).
However, I'm not holding my breath.

I care about a lot of issues, but I care about nothing more than what human commerce and industry have done to our climate and environment.
Spurred on by greedy capitalists, our modern society is trashing the ecosystem, poisoning the oceans, filling our bodies with plastic, killing entire species, slashing biodiversity to shreds and ramping up global temperatures, bringing more fires, floods, droughts, hurricanes, famines, and war.
What I hope is that Mastodon can serve as an effective forum to educate people — those who are willing to be educated — about what is coming in our future and our children's future, and what we might do together to prepare for that.
__________________________
Alas, in the two years I have been on this platform, things have got worse, *much* worse.
There has been ZERO progress in slowing climate change. In fact, fossil fuels — oil, gas, and coal — are being produced and burned faster now than ever before. Rainforests are still being destroyed. Whole species are dying out, thousands going extinct every year. Earth is becoming a wasteland.
And on the political front... well, shit, I don't have to tell you how bad it is now. We are living in dystopia.
Is there any light in the darkness? It's difficult to see, but I'll keep looking. And if you find me, please take my hand.

In a recent essay, Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) calls for the same thing...
___________________________________
A general strike isn't just a strike for workers' rights. Under Trump, a general strike is a strike against Trumpism and all its horrors: kids in cages, forced birth, trans erasure, climate accelerationism – the whole fucking thing.
A general strike would build the worker power to occupy the Democratic Party and force it to stand up for the American people against oligarchy, rather than meekly capitulating to fascism (and fundraising), which is all they know how to do anymore.
But before we can occupy the Dems, we have to occupy the unions. We need union bosses who are committed to signing up every worker who wants workplace democracy, and unionizing every workplace in *spite* of the NLRB, not with its help.
We need to go back to our roots, when there were no rules.

A third of the Arctic’s tundra, forests, and wetlands have become a source of carbon emissions, a new study has found, as global heating ends thousands of years of carbon storage in parts of the frozen north. More than 30% of the region was a net source of CO2, according to the analysis, rising to 40% when emissions from wildfires were included.
For millennia, Arctic land ecosystems have acted as a deep-freeze for the planet’s carbon, holding vast amounts of potential emissions in the permafrost. But ecosystems in the region are increasingly becoming a contributor to global heating as they release more CO2 into the atmosphere with rising temperatures.
The study comes amid growing concern from scientists about the natural processes that regulate Earth’s climate, which are being affected by rising temperatures. Together, the planet’s oceans, forests, soils, and other natural carbon sinks absorb about half of all human emissions, but there are signs that these sinks are under strain.

Advice From Climate Experts as Trump Is Sworn In - Atmos
President Donald Trump is threatening environmental deregulation and rollback, but the climate movement is prepared to give him the fight of his life.Atmos
The simple truth is that Donald Trump gave a major speech, the first speech of his second presidency,
and ignored almost every significant issue facing the working families of this country.
How crazy is that?
Our #healthcare system is broken, is dysfunctional and is wildly expensive.
We remain the only wealthy nation not to guarantee healthcare for all.
Not one word from Trump about how he is going to address the healthcare crisis.
We pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for #prescription #drugs
– sometimes 10 times more than the people in other countries
– and one out of four Americans is unable to afford the prescriptions that their doctors prescribe.
Not one word from Donald Trump on the high cost of prescription drugs.
We have 800,000 Americans who are #homeless and millions of our people spend 50% or 60% of their limited income on housing.
We have a major #housing crisis in America
– everyone knows it.
And Trump, in his inaugural address, did not devote one word to it.
Today in America, we have more income and wealth #inequality than we have ever had.
The wealthiest three people in America now own more wealth than the bottom half of our society.
But Trump had nothing to say about the growing gap between the very rich and everybody else.
And maybe that’s because he had those three people – the three wealthiest people in America – sitting right behind him at his inauguration.
And, I should add, those three people – if you can believe it – saw their wealth increase by more than $233bn since the November elections.
No wonder they were sitting right behind Trump. They couldn’t be happier.
During his inaugural speech, Trump did not have one word to say about how we are going to address the planetary crisis of #climate ##change.
The last 10 years have been the warmest ever recorded, and extreme weather disturbances and natural disasters are taking place all over the world
– from California to India, across Europe to North Carolina. Not one word about climate change
– except, of course, to make it clear that he intends to make this horrific situation even worse with “drill, baby, drill”.
Brilliant.

There is currently a bushfire in Bull Creek, with a watch alert for Willetton in Perth, Western Australia. This is not the edge of the city. This is suburban Perth proper.

But what must it feel like to be a young person in your teens or in your twenties and be looking at a future of near-certain disaster, the collapse of society, the destruction of everything you hold dear? I can't imagine the pain.

Climate change threatens the mental well-being of youths. Here’s how to help them cope.

Are there ones small enough to hang out of a typical US double-hung window (I don't have a balcony)? Are they of any use?
(I have four south-facing windows that get unobstructed sun ALL day long--which I can attest to given how hot my apartment can get in the summer)
And what can you do with them? I assume at least charge USB devices? Is there more you can do?
